He spent three and a half months (May 16-September 1) on the disabled list with a fractured right fibula after being struck in the ankle by a line drive during his start on May 14 at Toronto. In five major league seasons with the Rays, Niemann has a 40-26 record with a 4.08 ERA.

Roberts, 32, will earn $2.95 million plus incentives.

He was acquired by the Rays on July 24 from the Diamondbacks and started 51 of 65 games after joining the Rays, batting .218 (40-for-187) with six home runs, 10 doubles and 18 RBI.
